Anyone who believes what Putin says lacks clear knowledge of reality.

He destabilized Ukraine by creating and arming those separatist in Eastern Ukraine, he is also into disinformation to brainwash his Russian speaking people in Ukraine and in Russia.

His real reason of invading Ukraine is not NATO expansion but Zelenskky's refusal to be controlled. Putin sees other break away Soviet Union states as extension of Russia which should never have happened. Listen to his speech, he doesn't recognise Ukraine as a country.

He was building up his troops around Ukraine and he kept lying to the world he was not going to invade and his troops were returning to their bases even mocked the US warning.

Putin knows NATO will never attack Russia cos that will lead to a nuclear world war which is in no one's interest. Ask yourself why he's at peace with NATO countries around him but bullying non NATO members like Georgia and Ukraine.

If he gets his way in Ukraine he will not stop there he will repeat same with other NATO country cos no one can stop him.

Putin is power drunk like Hitler and Stalin and his action could lead the world to destruction if not stopped.

Some of you people on Nairaland are simply naive.
Putin simply wants regime change in Ukraine. It is not about Ukraine joining NATO.
He simply wants to annex a sovereign country and you people keep coming up with silly justifications because you hate The US.

What is Russian Army also doing having training Military Camps in Cuba, Venezuela and Nicaragua?
These are hostile neighbors of the US.
He is accusing the US of the same thing Russia is guilty of
If Putin has issues with the US, why not invade the US?
Is Ukraine the US??
